Topic: Spartanburg SC Beer-Out Plastic Piece (Read 2542 times)

I acquired a new keg that happens to be a Firestone Spartanburg SC. Upon replacing the o-rings and cleaning I noticed the beer-out side has a plastic filler piece that I have never seen before on any of my other kegs.

It's in the shape of an upside down funnel and was positioned between the dip tube and the poppet/post.

The "piece" is pretty beat up and cracked and I am not too keen on running beer through this thing. Anyone... a) seen this before?b) know where to find a replacement part?c) have ideas on a work around?

If so, be aware that they come in two different sizes (one is a bit longer than the other, and I believe it can be sanded down successfully if necessary). My own experience is that the longer keg posts which require the longer spacers can be swapped out for the shorter "Type C" keg posts (available from Northern Brewer, etc.) which take the shorter spacers.
